Theme: Focus on Uke's movement when learning a technique


Hajimi

Katate ayamochi Ikkajo Osae Ichi
Cross wrist grasp First control pin #1
- when Shite shuffle O/L and control Uke's arm, Uke should;
- go down on inside knee, inside foot should remain up on toes
- outside knee remains up and whole foot on mat
- other arm should be inside and foward of outside knee with hand on mat,
- hand on mat should be turned toward Shite, this angle will allow elbow to bend rather than locked arm which could jam as slide forward
- Shite's knee should maintain contact with Uke's armpit as C/S forward to apply pin. Uke's movement should be to lower self down. Uke should avoid pushing forward with bent inside knee. As Uke lowers self, outside knee should go to mat and than slide both feet back to release energy
- Uke should provide a constant resistance (pull or push) however when technique being executed, relax the body and avoid tighten up the body. Learning the technique will be easier on both partners.

Katate ayamochi Ikkajo Osae Ni
Cross wrist grasp First control pin #2
- As Uke pushes forward, the lead foot shuffles forward than after another C/S, the lead foot should be turned in the direction of the pivot

Katate ayamochi Nikkajo Osae Ichi
Cross wrist grasp Second control pin #1
- Shite shuffles O/L and keeps Uke's arm at chest height, Uke should remaining standing
- Shite turns 90 degrees & shuffles back as positioning hands to apply pin
- Uke should turn and face Shite
- Uke should shuffle in and go down on opposite knee
- Uke can place forehead against back of wrist receiving pin, forward pressure will counter pin
